Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-centric bias by focusing on Microsoft Active Directory as the LDAP implementation, using Windows group membership logic, and providing examples and screenshots exclusively from Windows tools (e.g., ldp.exe). There are no Linux/UNIX LDAP server examples, nor are Linux-native tools (such as ldapsearch, getent, or nslcd) mentioned or demonstrated. The documentation assumes a Windows-based environment for managing NFS group memberships, which may not reflect the experience of users operating in Linux or mixed environments.
Recommendations
- Include parallel examples using Linux-based LDAP servers (such as OpenLDAP) and demonstrate how group memberships and supplemental groups are managed in those environments.
- Provide command-line examples using common Linux tools (e.g., ldapsearch, getent group, id) to show how to query group memberships and GIDs.
- Mention and explain the relevant LDAP schema attributes and group membership logic as implemented in non-Windows LDAP servers.
- Add screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments to balance the visual examples.
- Clarify that while Azure NetApp Files supports integration with Active Directory, it can also work with other LDAP implementations, and provide guidance for those scenarios.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the default or only environment by presenting both Windows and Linux procedures side by side where applicable.
